Where we store your personal data

When it reaches us, we then store it on a secure server so that it can only be read by authorised personnel. Although we make every effort to create a secure environment for your Personal Data, LycaHealth cannot guarantee the safety of any personal information that you transmit to LycaHealth by non-secure email.

How we protect your information

Your personal information is safeguarded by the Data Protection Act 1998 (and from 25 May also by the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR)) and our internal policies.
The sensitivity of patient information is well understood within LycaHealth (all staff are given training on their duty of confidentiality to you). We keep paper and electronic records securely to prevent unauthorised access in line with current legislation.

Managing the Data

We need to be able to move electronic information between the separate systems that provide information to support your care and the care processes. Data is also extracted and processed to support the operation of the services and monitoring the delivery and management of the services.

When information may be shared and who with

We will only ever share your information if it is in the best interests for your care. We will not disclose any information that identifies you to anyone outside your direct care team without your express permission, unless there are exceptional circumstances such as when there is serious risk of harm to yourself or others or where the law requires it.

Who we may share your information with:

Where the information to be shared is relevant and appropriate to your ongoing direct care with the following:

Other Hospitals

GPs

Other Clinicians

Social care

None of your identifiable information will be shared with non-care organisations except with your explicit consent and this will then be subject to strict agreement about how it will be used.

There may be circumstances where the reasons for disclosure are so important that they override the obligation of confidentiality (e.g. to prevent someone from being seriously harmed). Disclosure may also be required by Court Order or under an Act of Parliament, i.e. there is a statutory or other legal basis for the disclosure. The advice of specialist staff e.g. Caldicott Guardians are also sought prior to making disclosures in the public interest, or where a Court Order or statutory basis is provided as justification.

Section 251

Disclosures may be permitted under section 251 of the NHS Act 2006. This allows the Secretary of State for Health to set aside the common law duty of confidentiality in special circumstances. However even in such special circumstances, rigorous assessment will be undertaken to determine whether there is sufficient justification to allow access to the requested confidential patient information and no such disclosure will be made unless it is deemed entirely justifiable.

Accessing your information

You have the right of access to your own records as defined in the Data Protection Act 1998 which, with some exceptions, entitles individuals to a copy of information held about them.

If you would like a copy of the information which we hold about you, please contact our Operational Manager.

It will help us if you can state which Clinic(s) you attended and the approximate dates and type of treatment for which you want to see the record. You must apply in writing, giving your name, address, date of birth and, if you have it, your ID number. Say that you are applying for access to your health records. Please allow up to 40 days for us to process your application.

For providing copies of your medical (paper) records, or x-ray films you may be charged a fee, depending on the work involved.

Keeping information up to date

If you consider that any part of the information held in your record is inaccurate, you can apply to have this corrected. If we agree that the information is incorrect, the alteration will be made. If we are not satisfied that the information is incorrect, a note will be made of the information you consider is inaccurate.

You will be given a copy of either the correction or the note.

Your rights

You can have a say in how LycaHealth uses information about you. If you do not wish personal data to be used or shared in the way that is described, please discuss the matter with us. You have the right to request that your confidential information is not used beyond your own care and treatment and to have your objections considered, and, where your wishes cannot be followed, to be told the reasons, including the legal basis. Where permitted by the applicable laws and regulations, LycaHealth will delete Personal Data upon your written request.
